The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

A bronchoscopy is a simple example. The basic code is 0BJ (1)8ZZ where (1) is for the deepest anatomical location explored during the procedure. It is assumed all locations above also were explored.
A specific set of codes ( table 3) appears in the second axis for the anatomical section. Universally specific codes are not used for body parts when they appear in other axial position; they vary with section. For example 0, 1, and 2 are used for right, left and bilateral breast (s) respectively in Imaging and Radiation Oncology, while the codes T, U and V are used in Medical and Surgical. ICD-10-PCS, like ICD-10-CM, stresses laterality. However, unlike -CM, ICD-10-PCS requires the use of laterality because “unspecified” is not an anatomical option.
Fifty-one of the codes end in an X qualifier code, indicating that they are diagnostic; the remainder indicate “no qualifier.” Given this complexity, it is necessary to assign ICD-10-PCS codes directly.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy, commonly called a Whipple procedure, is a complex surgical procedure involving multiple abdominal organs. It has a unique ICD-9 code of 52.7. It has no corresponding ICD-10-PCS code. The procedure be best described by multiple ICD-10-PCS codes representing the specific organ parts that are excised, as no organ is totally removed (a resection). The approach is currently always open and involves no devices or qualifiers.
For example 0, 1, and 2 are used for right, left and bilateral breast (s) respectively in Imaging and Radiation Oncology, while the codes T, U and V are used in Medical and Surgical.
Table 1 offers an example from the Medical and Surgical section showing how the codes are defined. For the example shown here, 127 operational codes are defined in the 2009 published code set.
For example, for a code in section 0 (Medical and Surgical), the codes that follow are body system, root operation, body part, approach, device, and qualifier. The actual set of codes for each succeeding character is fixed by the preceding one.
